Fast growing lump between clavicles

I'm on active treatment for autimune thyroidities for the past two years and just watched my mother, who had lyphome for years, to go through the horendious treatment for stage four throat cancer. 

 

Now, few month ago I had found a weird mass just above the place where two clavicles meet. I think it's called suprasternal notch, but with English not being my first language, I'm not sure if the term is right. In the past fee weeks, I can see that lump growing almost everyday, so I went to see my GP. She assesed the situation, grouped it with me loosing 5kgs in a week and a changes to my voice and laugh and refered me to urgent testing last week. So far, I had the ultrasound yesterday. Sonographer was not able to offer any information, so my worries just increasing day by day.

 

I have 9 years old daughter and she's my main concern if the tests doesn't return as all clear...

 

Could it be something else and not the cancer? Did someone under similar circumstances received all clear and went back to their normal day to day life? 

  • Hello sunnydelight89,

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your results. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
